Settings for the 7700PTX-GVTALLY can be configured through this menu on the serial port or using
the preferred method using the Web interface in section 5. From the main menu, select “GVTALLY
StatServer Settings Setup”.

Figure 4-3: Serial Configuration – StatServer Settings

 The 7700PTX-GVTALLY must be rebooted for any GV protocol parameter changes

to take effect.

<1> Set Timeout: If a request to the server takes longer then the time displayed then the 7700PTX-
GVTALLY will attempt to reconnect to the server.

<2> Set Serial/TCP: This must be enabled for the 7700PTX-GVTALLY

<3> Set IP Address: The IP address of the GV system the 7700PTX-GVTALLY is getting tally
information from.

<4> Set TCP Port: The port the 7700PTX-GVTALLY is going to get the tally information from.

In steps, <5> and <6>, for each output port there is a watched and VGPI offset option.
<5> Set what output to watch: Watched simply configures whether or not that port will have its
tallies calculated.

<6> Set the output VGPI offset: The VGPI offset is used to insure that if multiple ports are being
watched none of there VGPI ids will overlap. To insure no overlap each VGPI offset needs to be
unique and a multiple of the maximum number of inputs.

For example:

This is the value added to the switcher’s source number to obtain the program VGPI number that the
7700PTX-GVTALLY transmits to the PPV(s). Table 4-5 shows the default offset (0) as well as a
user-defined offset (1).

<7> Set the Image Video Tally ID: This is the display ID used when sending tally information to the
UMD devices.

<8> Set the UMD Tally Refresh rate: This is the amount of time between resending the tally and
name status to the UMDs if nothing has changed.

The switcher sends tally information to the 7700PTX-GVTALLY on a continuous and repetitive basis,
even in the absence of changes to this tally information.

Revision 1.0 7700PTX-GVTALLY - 13

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700PTX-GVTALLY User Manual

The VGPI refresh count parameter specifies how many iterations of non-changing tally information the
7700PTX-GVTALLY receives before it provides a VGPI refresh to the MVP. For instance, if the VGPI
refresh time is set to 10,000 it means the 7700PTX-GVTALLY will receive the unchanging tally
information for 10 seconds before it sends a VGPI refresh to the MVP. The VGPI refresh is beneficial
should the MVP lose power.

<9> Set the heartbeat poll duration: Sets the amount of time between polls to check if the GV
switcher is still connected. (Note: must be set to zero for current firmware)

<10> Set what suite to subscribe to: Subscibing tor “All” is usual and the default settting. Options
are 1, 2, All, None or the Suite name.

<11> Set the total number of Inputs: This is the total number of switcher inputs, most of the time this
will be the maximum value.

<12> Set the total number of Outputs: This is the total number of switcher outputs, most of the time
this will be the maximum value.

• IP address: The IP address of the GV system the 7700PTX-GVTALLY is getting tally
information from.
• Port: the port the 7700PTX-GVTALLY is going to get the tally information from.
• VGPI Image Video Dsp ID: the display ID used when sending tally information to the UMD
devices.
• UMD refresh rate: the amount of time between resending the tally and name status to the
UMDs if nothing has changed.
• Poll duration: the amount of time between polls to check if the GV server is still connected.
(Note: this needs to be set to 0 for current firmware)
• Maximum Switcher Inputs: the total number of switcher inputs, most of the time this will be
the maximum value.
• Maximum Switcher Outputs: the total number of switcher outputs, most of the time this will be
the maximum value.

The second part of the configuration is the output watch setup. This area sets up what outputs are
going reported on with regards to what sources make up that output. For each output port there is a
watched and VGPI offset option. Watched simply configures whether or not that port will have its tallies
calculated. The VGPI offset is used to insure that if multiple ports are being watched none of there
VGPI ids will overlap. To insure no overlap each VGPI offset needs to be unique and a multiple of the
maximum number of inputs.

To commit changes simply click the “Update” button on the bottom of the web page and reboot the
card. Once the card comes up the new settings will be used.

6.1. CHECKING SWITCHER COMMUNICATION

1. From the Main Menu select Engineering/Debug.

2. Select Show task statistics.

3. There are four entries, one for each serial port, listed under the heading incoming serial port
statistics… If the item in chars is reported as a non-zero hexadecimal value then the
7700PTX-GVTALLY is receiving data from the switcher. If it is consistently reported as
0x00000000 then the 7700PTX-GVTALLY is not receiving data from the switcher. In this
case the serial settings or wiring may be incorrect or the switcher may not be configured
properly.
